Every Little Thing

-


Last week zipped by as I traveled back from my weekend retreat on Monday, worked on three messages that I'm giving at a different retreat this coming weekend, did church ministry, and got some walks into my days.


I took my father-in-law to visit my mother-in-law's grave on their 65th anniversary (the first without her) and then out to lunch with him.

I did some sewing.


Made meals as normal.

Red Lentil & Quinoa Wraps

Lentil Meatballs

Did some cooking with my son. 


Visited my daughter and son-in-law and attended a fall festival with them.




Found hidden gems.




Weeded the front flower bed at church, organized towels that we distribute to those in need and set up 6 towel basket deliveries, including one I delivered myself.

Taught a small group class and then rocked and read to little ones in the nursery.


I sat and read and wrote. 

It was a good week and I am thankful for every little thing.

      I do have a lot on my plate, but truly enjoy it. I usually come to a complete stop around 6 p.m. every night.

      He's doing okay and adjusting well. He complains a lot, but that really is kind of his personality. He does miss her. The day I took him to the grave he cried more than I've ever seen him do. :-(

When the Unexpected Pops Up

On Thursday afternoon, just as Dan and I were getting ready to leave for a meeting, we received a phone call from our son. He was sitting on the side of the road with a blown engine in his car. The problem is he lives 3 1/2 hours away. After back and forth phone calls he called a tow truck and got it towed to a garage. He ended up renting a car and headed here for the holiday. We've been working with him to figure out his next steps because he still owes thousands of dollars on the car which will also take a significant amount to replace the engine. His rent is going up in the new year. His seasonal job ended and he is trying to find something else, but needs a car for that to happen. His car still has not been looked at by the mechanic. It is all more than a little overwhelming. Long story short, we extended an invitation for him to live here temporarily so he can get out from under all of this. It would save him money on expensive rent and utilities.  The timing was right since h...

Mid-September Beauty

I cannot believe it's mid-September already. We are entering into the time of the year that is my favorite. I love all the colors and it's been beautiful. We are in a bit of drought, but the weather has been gorgeous. This weekend was probably one of the most relaxing that I've had in a long time. I wasn't canning or processing anything. I didn't have an agenda. I just relaxed. That's a good thing because I have major things going on for the next 5 weekends in a row.  The geese are starting to fly. The squirrels and chipmunks are busy collecting nuts. The bees are still busy collecting pollen. I've been getting out and walking as much as possible each day. I've also been a lot of my work out on the back patio. It's peaceful as long as my neighbors aren't out there mowing or blowing leaves. I have to laugh because almost every single time I sit out there someone decides that is the moment to do yard work.  It's pumpkin and squash season and ou...
